“Today a young man on acid realized that all
matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all
one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such
thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of
ourselves. Here's Tom with the Weather.”

My immediate thought and reply was that one need not get even so esoteric in one's thinking. This example instantly popped into my head:

One of my avocations is photography. Although I am somewhat horrible at photography, I enjoy it nonetheless.

As I get back into this hobby after some time away from it, my intent is to "carry on a conversation with myself" here in the blog. As I come across key insights and basic instructables, I'll post replies to this blog post. My learning style lends itself to ten or twenty minute bursts of information which I can then go put into practice and explore. Therefore, my intent is to keep these limited to "short burst" articles rather than entire books or publications.

I'm not working in film (aka the "real raw"). This means my explorations will be limited exclusively to digital photography. I am also not terribly interested in Photoshop and re-touch. My focus is on the craft and art of getting the shot right "in the moment" it is taken, whenever possible.

If you find similar articles which help develop the technical and artistic competency of novice-to-intermediate photographers -- I invite you to post them as replies here, as well!
